Example: After Insert Row By Key

This example uses the After Insert Row By Key code event for the lineitem table in the OfficeStore demo.

In this example, the function returns a message with the quantity of the item in the inventory table. 

PUBLIC FUNCTION dbxDataEvent_lineitem_AfterInsertRowByKey(p_data RECORD LIKE lineitem.*)
    RETURNS (INTEGER, STRING)

    DEFINE errNo INTEGER
    DEFINE errMsg STRING
    DEFINE _qty INTEGER
    
    DISPLAY "dbxDataEvent_lineitem_AfterInsertRowByKey (Table scope) is raised"   
    SELECT qty INTO _qty FROM inventory WHERE @itemid = p_data.itemid
    LET errMsg = "Available quantity: " || _qty

    RETURN errNo, errMsg
END FUNCTION
